Reborn-Art Food Session

ABOUT

Ishinomaki is a city known for its thriving primary industries such as fishery and agriculture. Instead of being caught up in the current economic rationality of the market, Reborn-Art Festival incorporates the concept of “Reborn-Art” as a means of living to find new value in the precious food resources available in the sea, rivers, hills, fields, and paddies of Ishinomaki. This means the importance of thinking and appreciating the richness of the food chains and cycles in which all living things including human beings receive life, while devising new flexible approaches for the future to come.

We feel both the joy of food and a sense of crisis surrounding food. People involved in primary industries like fishermen and farmers, people like chefs who cook and prepare food, people who promote food, and people who experience it by eating and receiving food: we will express the new innovations that occur in these connections as a journey around the essence of life in the form of various projects and events.

Some of the leading food creators of our time, especially chefs from Ishinomaki, have been involved in Reborn-Art Festival to date. For this year’s festival, we are joined by yet more talented chefs to create a new Reborn-Art Food Session.
